Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyCoronary computed tomography angiography vs. myocardial single photon emission computed tomography in patients with intermediate risk chest pain: a randomized clinical trial for cost-effectiveness comparison based on real-world cost.
To compare the cost-effectiveness of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) vs. myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with stable intermediate risk chest pain. ⋯ CCTA is associated with fewer subsequent ICA with no difference in downstream outcome. CCTA may be more cost-effective than SPECT in Korean patients with stable, intermediate risk chest pain.
